Falcons sign 2 role players to 1-year extensions

The Atlanta Falcons have announced that they have signed offensive tackle Austin Pasztor and cornerback Leon McFadden to one-year contract extensions.

Neither player started in a game for Atlanta last season and they are unlikely to be key contributors unless several other players get injured.

These moves are all about depth for two of the team’s most important and deepest units.

While Falcons fans will probably not be thrilled by the news, keep in mind the team is well setup to compete and still has to sign Matt Ryan to a long-term extension that could exceed $30 million per year.
